I don't think that Cook will approve a 5 inch screen as it is too big to be held in one hand and operated by the thumb on the same hand. This has been stated as a core requirement by Apple.

This 1 hand operation is based on the width not changing and it didn't when they just made the screen longer not wider. The width must stay at the current width but they could make the screen longer 5 or 6 inches but just keep the width to maintain the 1 hand rule commandment.

The cast in concrete requirements that the iPhone gets no wider than the first iPhone and the requirements to keep using iOS and the annual refresh cycle dooms the iPhone in my opinion. They cannot keep up to the competition with these limitations. You can't lead from behind in this market. The...
